Water leak

Hi everyone, ime at my wits end, I have a water leak in my 2005 rrs in the passenger footwell, (under the carpet)I've read on here about the A pillar letting in water through the bottom hole and got that done a few months ago, and it seemed to stop, but after further investigation the water is not coming in from there, I opened the sunroof and checked all the drain holes and they are all draining as they should, the problem is is when I pour water down the sunroof Chanel at the front passenger side the water is draining under the car but some is managing to come in under the carpet in the passenger footwell, ime pretty sure the water is getting in once it drains from behind the passenger side vent as it is fine up to there, is there anywhere that the water could be getting in from the end of the rubber hose behind the passenger side vent and where it drains from there as it seems to run out the rubber hose behind the vent and on to the metal plate underneath then through a small hole in the bottom right corner and then drips down to the plastics cover at the bottom of the passenger wing ,if any of that makes sense, any help much appreciated as its driving me insane, many thanks

Is it possible that the drain tube has a leak at the connector so that some drains outside the car and some drains inside?

Have you read the TSB on Disco 3: http://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/displayima...amp;pos=81 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

Hi

I don't think so because even if I pour water down the passenger A pillar once it runs down to where the vent in the front wing is it is getting in there somehow? Is there meant to be a rubber drain tube that goes right down to underneath the car as mine stops behind the passenger vent and just drains from there, don't know if that's normal, will also have a read at the link, many thanks

Hello. I have a RRS S/C 2005. LHD. My left/drivers window stoped working. I have found out that it can be
problems in some cables on on the right side below the carpet near the front door.
When checking the bundle of cables I found a lot of water coming from my sunroof drain pipe.
I have had the same problem with water earlier on the left side.
The drain pipes exit behind the side went/grill on left and right side and they can rotten or dry and
the smal part sticking outside from the hole are loose or gone and daring the water inside the cabin on the floor.
The right side exit of the drain tube is very difficult to reach from inside, the CJB is blocking its position.
I cut my drain tube behind the right A-pillar trim halfway up the front window and used a plastic/flexible
line down to exit for use it to pull a rubber pipe back up to the old part where i cut it.
With the flexibel-line in place I pulled the old end-part upp to my cutting place at the front window and
of course the flexible line left in place to guide the way up for my new rubber pipe.
This is maybe not the correct way but problem solved.
